    Easily...and the difference between it happening now and back in 2011-12 is that now, due to Holm's newfound celebrity, people would actually pay attention to it.

    Braekhus would be the favorite and yet the B-side.

    I mean this one certainly has a potential to be the most hyped?

    Because you were basically just suggesting that someone should try to do the same thing to GGG you re****. Holm didn't win with only her power or good chin she won with here skills. Skills pay the bills remember?

    Yeah, Holm did just knockout the UFCs biggest star so it will probably be the most hyped fight if she came back to fight the norwegian Atillah The Hun:deal

    Could be, Holm just received an insane amount of publicity.

    Although Braekhus' paychecks are probably bigger than Holm's so far, so I figure it would have to be about 50-50 or something.

    Martin vs. Rijker didn't have the momentum this would have.

    Braekhus has been p4p #1 now for a couple of years (lending the fight street cred among the boxing diehards & journos...all of whom also respect Holm and would consider her a legit opponent and not a freakshow as though it were just some
    female MMA champ making an initial crossover to boxing) and Holm just brought the money and international attention in one fell swoop by handing Rousey a 5-minute ass kicking.

    Its beyond belief theyve focussed on Honda and Conor when they have a legit all American legend who destroyed Anderson Silva on their hands

    Yeah Holm is atop of the World right now, but the Norwegian might be too much for Holm at this moment and i dont think she has the power to keep the Female Atillah The Hun off of her.

    Cyborg will beat them all. Good win by Holly though.

    True, and Cece is freaking HUGE. (another reason I don't hold it against Holm not having fought her...kind of like people demanding Mayweather to go up for Golovkin, or Golovkin to chase Ward...)

    That's Dana White for you. Weidman is a beast as is aldo but Dana only puts his attention to Conor and Rousey. Big mistake haha. Dana will do everything in his power to make sure Conor wins next month LOL.

    They probably think he's a little too blue collar to be the face of the franchise even though he's the goods.
